With Homestead you can easily build an website or e-commerce site from scratch. If you start with a website, you can later on bolt on an online QuickStore if you wish.

Each of these options has 3 packages you can choose from depending on how many pages you want for your store or items in your online shop.

You can sign up free of charge for a 30 day trial after which you charged monthly if you continue with the service. (a mere 4.99/month for the lowest option)

To get started you simply enter your details, then choose a design (There are over 2000 template designs to choose from) and finally customise with drag and drop ease. There are video demonstrations which guide you through the whole process.

In addition, there are tools for choosing a domain, creating email addresses, e-commerce, website promotion. For e-commerce there is also a store manual and product manual.

• Very cheap in the short term.
• Very fast - you can build and load you site in minutes

Cons:

• If you really need cutting edge design you may need to find a web designer - though at much greater one off cost.
• If you need to go for many products or pages, you will need the higher packages which could cost a lot more over time.
